Answer:
Two sentences use "eating" as a participle:
B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.
D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.
Explanation:
The gerund and the present participle are identical to the eye. They both are formed by adding -ing to a verb root. Thus, "eating" can be a gerund or a participle, according to the context.
The difference between them is quite simple. The gerund acts like a noun, having the same functions a noun would have in a sentence: subject, object of a verb or of a preposition, and subject complement. The present participle, on the other hand, will either act as an adjective, modifying a noun or a pronoun, or be a part of a continuous tense.
That is precisely what we have in options B and D. In option B, "eating" is an adjective modifying the noun "habits". In letter D, "eating" is a part of the Present Perfect Continuous tense. Therefore, in options B and D, "eating" is a participle:
B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.
D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.
Answer:
Yes it will. You can excersise indoors to stay fit while this virus is going on.
You can search up excersise videos on YTube, they have lots of videos for teens, adults, old people, etc.
If you don't like to watch videos while excersising then you can make your own routine, for example, do 20 pushups, 15 jumping jacks, and etc. Pound for pound, muscle burns more calories at rest than body fat. So the more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. And, of course, you also burn calories while you're actually exercising.
Hope this helps and stay safe!
I do believe D is the right answer!
